Beauty Bloggers Excuses To Buy

The post 2 weeks ago today was about Learning To Spend Less (see here) so this Thursday I thought it would be interesting to hear some excuses that some of my favourite beauty bloggers use when buying beauty products. I'm definitely heavily influenced by offers on products and also new releases are very tempting to see what they're all about. Here's what the others had to say:

Emma // @girlwithmakeup // girlwithmakeup.com

'My train of thought is usually "hmm I do have a lipstick/blusher/bronzer that's similar to this but this one is slightly different... therefore I need it!'

Rachel // @rachelclaireful // claireful.blogspot.co.uk

'I don't spend a lot of money going out or smoking or drinking a lot so I feel that justifies it !'

Sophie // @sophieetc // sophieetc.com

'I definitely use my blog as an excuse "it's for review purposes!". Payday and treating myself is also an excuse for me too.'

Beth // @thegingernroses // gingernroses.co.uk

'If I have a special occasion coming up ... the "I know I have 8 different red lipsticks but this can be my cousin's wedding red."

Sophie // @sophiesaid // sophie-said.blogspot.co.uk

'I like to convince myself I need new products for each new season.'

Leigh // @lilpbeauty // littlepieceofbeauty.com

'In a few weeks we will be heading into Autumn which definitely an excuse for new beauty buys.'

Sophie // @sophienoz // sophieclare.blogspot.co.uk

'I like to justify buying beauty products if I've been working hard as a little treat to myself!'

Sophie // @bellechaton // bellechaton.co.uk

'Packaging plays a major part, if I see a product with cute packaging of course I need that!'

I hope you find this post interesting! Make sure you check out the bloggers in this post as I love them all and their blogs.

thats so funny!! I use my blog as an excuse all da time!!! The my other excuse is "but i have no other (insert name of product and shade) thats exactly the same as this one in the same packaging so therefor i need this in my life!!"

Great post. I definitely use the 'for review purposes' one; 'oh look, it's on special/comes with a gift/is free shipping for this weekend only' one too. And definitely the cute packaging one - 'even if I don't like the actual product, at least I can display it!'
